PGPphone Source Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the anyone-up-for-a-port dept.

drac writes "Phil Zimmerman has released the source to PGPphone , saying that there is no corporate interest and that he doesn't want to let the project die..." There appears to be only windows and mac source, but perhaps a port could be made. Good secure voice over internet software for Linux would be nice.

  1. Source code not released? by cybaea · · Score: 5
    Although NAI is releasing the source code, the source code is still copyrighted by NAI, and cannot be used without permission.

    What's the point of source code I cannot use? This seems to be a non-event to me.

    It's called Speakfreely and you have your choice of encryptions. And it actually runs on different platforms (so you can talk to Win*-users too).

    I wrote Phil about the license. Perhaps we can work something out.

    There are more Internet Telephony options available, and encryption is an option in many of them.

    The OpenPhone Project aims to make it easier for this kind of software to get built. Other good links include:
